Dead Trees
(technical notes, hints on how to improve the picture etc.) ISBN 1-85585-149-0 for the paperback
edition.
Thirdly, I can highly recommend "National Geographic, the photographs", edited by Leah Bendavid-
Val. Featuring Steve McCurry's famous Afghan refugee image on the cover, this books contains some
very exciting material. When I browsed it in a book store, I opened it on page 80, with a very striking
image of a whale hunt; a few more pages and I decided to buy the book. ISBN 0-87044-986-9 or 0-
87044-987-7 for the deluxe edition.

A UK magazine that no one has mentioned is "digital photo art" (sic). It has lots of articles about tricks
and techniques with Photoshop and equipment reviews, though much of the stuff isn't readily available
in the US. They publish lots of neat images, and describes how some were done. Their web page is

Photographic. Yup, the magazine bites... BUT! Once a year (I think) they have a special issue, called
"The BIG BOOK of photograpy" (the capitalization is theirs). It is a fairly well written introduction to
photography. The magazine is divided into chapters that teach basic photography skills. I picked up a
copy for about 5 bucks last year and I am damned if I can't answer at least 80% of all questions asked in
the unmoderated forum straight from the pages of this magazine (priced and printed) book. Petersen's
does somethings right.

Seeing the comments above regarding the high price of UK magazines in the US, I would suggest
checking the subscription prices. From a UK perspective, I often find it cheaper to subscribe to US
magazines and have them arrive airmail to my door than to buy them in the (few) outlets that stock
them.
I have a copy of "Outdoor Photography" in front of me, and the subscription price is US$70.95 for 12
issues - this should compare well with store prices, and no worries about availability.
Incidentally, Outdoor Photography (not to be confused with Outdoor Photographer) is an excellent
magazine for landscapers, but the locations are, as you might expect, heavily UK biased.

Janet Malcolm's "Diana & Nikon" (Aperture, 1997) is an excellent collection of essays on photography.
